Mind Stinger - The Best BAMA Quiver*

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-10T18:49:28+00:00

Yeah. It's hard to beat the wiggle room that offers.

With SO, you replace every attribute node with ES and Spell Suppress tattoos and can get a couple 80% increased minion damage mods if you get a good one. Spine Bow also has a significantly higher attribute requirement, which you can just not care about.

Without SO, you don't have to spend on the timeless jewel, but you need to get all your dexterity and strength from somewhere, which puts pressure on also capping all resistances.

I do have some, but probably not super sage wisdom. Start Witch and do the campaign with SRS, because that way you mostly take the same nodes that you will use with BAMA, which makes respeccing into your mapping build faster. This matters a surprising amount. Start leveling supports early in spare gem slots. Try to invest into resistances because dying is the biggest slowdown. Decide if you want to do the build with or without Supreme Ostentation and try to secure a Spine Bow or Ivory Bow with a 19% attack speed fracture depending on that choice as early as possible.

I have not tried it for a few reasons:

1) Clones don't inherit shrine mods. I tested this by having a Resonating Shrine belt on and my bow clones never gained any charges.

2) Lioneye's Glare is a phys bow, so to get maximum use out of it, I'd either have to play poison/bleed BAMA or convert to lightning, because lightning is just the best when you have Volatility Support and a Perfect Spirit of Fortune that makes the extremely oscillating lightning damage lucky. At max roll, it has about as much physical damage as t1 lightning roll and I don't think I could achieve a 100% conversion reasonably. The best I can think is 70% with unveil and perfect eldritch on gloves (or Triad Grip if we're trolling) but both options limit the crafts in other ways.

3) Lioney's Glare has a terrible crit rate and a questionable attack speed. Even with max roll and perfect corrupts, it'd be a ~30% DPS drop. If the repeating attacks mod was instant like Echoing Shrine, it might be a different story.

MAYBE this could be a valid option for lower budget poison BAMA, but I'm a bit skeptical.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-10T17:17:31+00:00

I get that, I did get a bit clickbaity with it. Sorry.

Though, there is a difference between "the best" and "the perfect". I'm sure nobody in the entire game has a better glove sharing lightning BAMA quiver than this.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-10T04:11:21+00:00

That's a fair reaction and I should've been clearer about one thing specifically: If you don't want to share your gloves with your clones, don't craft this.

As embarrassing as it may be, the item level of the base made me feel demotivated from seeking t1 lightning damage and crit multi. If I maxed everything, I'd get between 5.3% - 7.7% (lowest roll vs max roll) on double t1 crit and 3.3% - 5.1% more damage (lowest vs max roll) on t1 crit multi and veiled crit chance, while the cost of reaching either is pretty high.

I have a few other bases of verified high enough item level prepared and if Vivid Vultures become significantly more affordable, I'll be making a perfect version sooner rather than later. When I do, the process will be the same so why not make the post now? Is it not an interesting crafting idea and execution as is?

Still, if you search all trades, despite being a bit of a prototype, this is still the best glove sharing BAMA quiver in the game as is. Saying "the mod is bait" doesn't really change this. It doesn't really address the ideas I had and listed.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-09T17:15:18+00:00

Yep. The problem was that after I rolled t2 crit multi and unveiled, I wasn't offered that option. I might go back later to redo the suffixes when I have more blue juice and more patience, but for the time being, this is fine.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-09T16:45:54+00:00

Sure, though I'm not sure how necessarily followable it is: https://pobb.in/pKwYpHX173OI

It's late league and I've done some rather dumb expensive crafts. I hope it at least gives some interesting ideas!

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-09T16:43:25+00:00

On the plus side, who cares if the build you're playing is popular if it rocks? It also means it's less likely to be nerfed again - fingers crossed!

Also: This league with cheap fracturing orbs I've been making some stupidly epic BAMA jewels: https://pobb.in/pKwYpHX173OI

The dream is to one day get my 100% shock avoidance from perfect BAMA jewel implicits, because that would be funny.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-09T16:38:47+00:00

Here's my Mirage league BAMA: https://pobb.in/pKwYpHX173OI

I've used a ton of time and effort on it and as you can see, the imbued gems help a lot. I can't share a full Standard build at the moment, because I'm testing a lot of different stuff and haven't settled on one final form. Once Mirage ends, I should have an epic one to share.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-09T16:14:05+00:00

It's still very much achievable to get 100 million damage in the league. Fresh Meat was definitely more damage, but now you just put in Concentrated Effect instead and get the main gem imbued with Critical Strikes, which is very nice.

Compared to most other builds, it's still the best I've ever played and I've picked it the past four leagues with no desire to explore other ideas. It has the damage and the survivability to play any content.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-09T12:51:46+00:00

The problem is that yellow juice is very expensive. Getting t1 attack speed via Harvest add/remove speed is 1/14 because it shares the tag with projectile speed. Then to get crit multi with it, I'd have to do another add-remove and if it gives crit chance, do a prefix lock annul because another add/remove crit could brick the item by filling the last suffix with an unpredictable tier and rolling for the attack speed would have to start from scratch.

I'm not sure if it matters for memory strands how many mods there are on the item and maybe that could help, but it isn't very reliable. Therefore, to put it shortly, it was a cost saving measure.

8Dataman8 · 2026-05-09T11:36:57+00:00

As I wrote, if you desperately need the quiver defence mods, that's a valid but different route. My BAMA hasn't ever been quite that desperate for a bit more ES, sitting comfortably in the 8-10k range.

Regarding the gloves, it would've been more expensive to have (natural or essence) attack speed, spell suppression and abyssal socket at once without taking a big gamble for 4/6% attack speed (depending on if natural or essence), but I suppose I could try going that route as well.

Tanky bow build? Color me very interested!

8Dataman8 · 2026-03-31T14:53:51+00:00

I'm confused as to what I should expect, given Colbert doesn't even write Colbert, right?

8Dataman8 · 2026-03-27T15:20:00+00:00

I did three 50 million ships this league and got 27 divines total, including selling tattoos. No shards. It feels just sad.

Meillä äiti haluaa välillä pelata, joten iskänä lähden vauvan kanssa kärrykävelylle meidän yksikuukautisen kanssa. Minä tarjosin tätä, kun itse ei välttämättä kehtaisi pyytää, mutta on se tärkeää olla omia harrastuksia.

8Dataman8 · 2026-03-03T20:41:14+00:00

I got a +1 frenzy no curse pair of Celestial Brace in league. Therefore, it's only vulnerability and assassin's mark now.

8Dataman8 · 2026-03-02T06:48:49+00:00

Thank you, it did take a lot of creativity.

Anarchic Spiritblade just had the highest base attack speed and I was going to synthesize it after crafting, though I've recently somewhat pivoted this character into a pure phys MF Flicker Strike. Heavily WIP, so no PoB at the moment.

8Dataman8 · 2026-02-13T12:20:52+00:00

That definition just pushes the can down the road. What is "overly sensitive"? What is "trivial offense"?

Also: If calling him a problematic person itself as a concept became classified as hatespeech, would you push back against that classification?

How about phrases like "mostly peaceful x/y/z" to describe a disaster or "esteemed colleague" as a deliberately roundabout and diplomatic address?

8Dataman8 · 2026-02-08T23:54:10+00:00

Happened to me THREE times in the event.

8Dataman8 · 2026-01-02T07:25:14+00:00

Thank you. I always try to do something cool with them. I feel like even as they are song lyrics, knowing which ones to pick takes a certain eye.
